Building Virtual Assistants with Microsoft Power Virtual Agents

Yocum Technology Group (YTG) has been at the forefront of digital transformation for over 10 years, helping businesses streamline processes and enhance customer experiences. One of their standout offerings is building virtual assistants using Microsoft Power Virtual Agents, a no-code chatbot platform perfect for automating customer service and internal workflows.

What is Microsoft Power Virtual Agents?

Microsoft Power Virtual Agents allows anyone to build intelligent chatbots without needing deep programming skills. It's designed for businesses to create bots that handle everything from customer inquiries to automating internal tasks, saving time and resources. Here's why YTG loves it:

• No-code development: You don't need to write a single line of code to build powerful bots.
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Bots understand what users mean, not just what they say.
• Seamless integration with Microsoft Power Platform: Bots can trigger workflows using Power Automate or interact with Dynamics 365 for complete automation.
• Omnichannel deployment: You can deploy these bots across multiple platforms, such as Microsoft Teams, your website, and even Facebook.
• Analytics: Built-in performance metrics help fine-tune your chatbot for better results.

At YTG, we take this foundation and build intelligent chatbots that help businesses scale without increasing operational costs. Check out our application modernization services to see how we can help you modernize your business systems.
